Ladislaus, hgodwinson, I'm not trying to disrespectful. My apologies if my words betray me.
I'll ask again since my question hasn't been answered. What Sede group is the true Catholic Church? What is the name of the Pope? Prior to Vatican 2, I don't believe the papacy was empty for more than a few years (that I could find out). That's why I ask, surely by now there's a valid Pope in the church our Blessed Lord established. He tasked Peter to feed His sheep afterall!
No "sede" group and no "R&R" group ARE, as group, THE true Catholic Church, but they may all be Catholic and IN the Catholic Church. What R&R group is THE true Catholic Church? During the Great Western Schism, which group was THE true Catholic Church? Answer is that neither was THE Church, but that both were PART OF the Church, even if they were divided materially regarding the consideration of fact, i.e. who had been legitimately elected pope.
Which sheep is (well, was) Bergoglio feeding, the heretics and sodomites? He was absolutely wrecking the faith. That's precisely the SV argument, that since Our Lord promised a papcy to maintain unity in faith and government, the papacy violates Our Lord's promises if it fails to do so. Meanwhile, there's nothing inherently contrary to Our Lord's promises against a prolonged vacancy of the Holy See, especially as part of the End Times Great Apostasy that has been predicted by so many Church Fathers, saints, and mystics.
So if you think the current vacancy is "too long," please do tell us exactly how long it can be. 3 years? 5 years? 10 years? 15 years? 20 years, 9 months, 15 days, 3 hours, 52 minutes, and 28 seconds? This demonstrates the nonsensical nature of an arbitrary length of time.

There was, I say, at every given time a Pope, really invested with the dignity of Vicar of Christ and Head of the Church, whatever opinions might exist among many as to his genuineness; not that an interregnum covering the whole period would have been impossible or inconsistent with the promises of Christ, for this is by no means manifest, but that, as a matter of fact, there was not such an interregnum.
Meanwhile, every pre-Vatican-II theologian ever, in the history of the Church, held that the Papal Magisterim cannot corrupt the faith or the Public Worship of the Church where it endangers souls. If you posit that the Papacy can wreck the Church so badly that Catholics are permitted and even required in conscience to break communion with and submission to the Vicar of Christ, then you've wrecked your own faith annd no longer have the Catholic faith ... since that is in fact the accusation of every herestical and schismatic group ever in the history of the Church in rejecting the Church, from the Orthodox to the Protestants, to the Old Catholics.
